So, if the reports, my memory, and my reading over the past three days are correct, in the U.S. we’ve had, at those times, something like the third highest numbers of reported new cases, then the second highest, and now the highest . . .
. . . so much winning.
Here’s hoping that the weather warms up real soon (so that this stuff miraculously just disappears) . . .
. . . surely the President, or Jared, or somebody now realizes the immediate importance of working very hard, right now today, on making the tax burdens of ultra-wealthy white real estate moguls more bearable???
Not to worry, Dio. If he forgets, Jared and his cabinet will remind him. The business of milking a disaster for profit is a fun and exciting pastime and he that is first to the trough gets fattest. Which I understand is a goal the Orange King has long sought.
We would have fewer cases if we just stopped testing.
The secret to immortality? . . .
. . . Never go to the doctor! Duh!
I’ll bet I’d never have to worry about getting a speeding ticket if the damn faceless gubbermint bureaucrats didn’t require me to have a speedometer in my vehicle? …
…and HEATWAVES! If we'd just get rid of those thermometers!
They've been doing the research to find out if tax cuts provide either prevention or therapy for coronavirus … It's looking we'll be hearing the good news very, very soon.
Just dropped off my ballot at Clerk & Recorder's Office.
Another vote for the former governor and future senator, John Hickenlooper.
I dropped mine off, too.
I feel both candidates have a record as centrist/moderate Democrats. Romanoff is running as a progressive, which is different from his record; Hickenlooper is running as a centrist, which corresponds to his record, so I guess I trust Hick to have more consistent convictions than Romy. I also feel someone with a science background is more trustworthy.
The decision point for me is that Hick is likely to graduate sooner than Romy to a more "executive" type position, like a cabinet post or something.
Not that Colorado has a deep bench of super-progressives or AOC clones, but someone like Jason Crowe would be spectacular as a Senator.
“The decision point for me is that Hick is likely to graduate sooner than Romy to a more “executive” type position, like a cabinet post or something.”
Agreed but Hick’s appointed successor would likely be Cary Kennedy, Jenna Griswold, Alice Madden, or one of the many women currently sitting in the legislature.
Just in case anyone was wondering…
Democratic Socialists Will Have a Presidential Candidate in November
"History repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second as farce."
While Biden's lead nationwide may be in the low double digits, he is uncomfortably close in places Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
Will we really need to go through this ordeal for the third time since 2000? Stay tuned….
Oh yes, I'll save La Pomposa the trouble. We will also have voter suppression and Putin to blame along with the Green Party.
Well, at least you do admit multiple causes for (anticipated) Dem vote drop-off in the general election. Hopefully, the Green party candidate won’t get much traction. I know I’ve tried to snuff out whatever the bots and trolls put on my FB feed, having learned from 2016.
But people are trying really hard to vote right now. In Wisconsin, North Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia, West Virginia, their turnout for primaries was way up even in the face of blatantly racist voter suppression. (closing polling sites, “losing” absentee ballot requests, etc)
So your friend La Pomposa, whomever that is, can rest assured ? that it’s SSDD in the voter suppression department, and we all still need to GOTV like our lives depend on it. (Because they do).
Let's hope these last four years will forever be an 'anomoly':
I'd vote for Mattis.
I think he should run for Senate or Governor first – I'd move there to vote for him.
McChrystal too.
"… and the third time in the trash bin."
I'll just leave this right here…
